We have an intriguing Simple Machines theme up later this year. But in the meantime, we decided to explore some more advanced concepts since our science tot trays with this set of 12 Science Preschool Trays!

This starts with the very helpful Sense of Smell Worksheet, as I wanted to figure out how to do such an activity with a preschooler!

I took four pompoms and infused them with smells: garlic, lavender, vanilla and lemon. I did the garlic by soaking the pompom in water with some Penzeys dehydrated garlic. The others were essential oils or extracts.

I put each in their own Dixie cup so he could isolate the smells

Then, I gave him colored pencils in each of the pom pom colors so he could record each smell in the chart.

-ot Words Worksheet

Wanting a word worksheet this week, this one seemed like a thematic fit!

Though this was a little too easy at this point, it is always nice to note how much he has improved! We also encouraged him to tell us what each shape is.

Just like last time, this was a theme Mom and Dad really liked doing! One night, we played with the Learning Resources Primary Science Lab Set for hours! We had fun making colors of different liquids, then combining them to this same yellowish brown color.

This theme also pushed us to go back to our local science center; we hadn’t been there all winter!
